I'm working on the following load: 155 Lapua Scenar 45.7 gr. of RL-15 OAL...can't recall at the moment. 2 things: 1) I noticed that the powder was being crushed a little when I seated the bullet. How serious is this? 2) My bullets are now regularly getting stuck in the die when I seat them...

New shooter here. I have a .308 700P with a SS10X??HD scope. Recently started shooting at 300 yards. Here is how I've been going about it: 1) Zero the gun at 100 yards, unscrew the caps and reset them on the scope. 2) Back up to 300 yards. Based on the cheap ammo I've been testing with...

Re: Load Data Question Thanks for the quick reply, Deadly. .308 is indeed what I have. I updated my location in my profile (Nebraska). 44 grains "feels" safe but again, I have only reloaded .30-06 up to this point so my instincts are not exactly developed yet. I'm going to wait and...

I'm new to reloading (this will become clear). I purchased some Lapua Scenars however the only powder I have is RL-15. I took it for granted that there would be load data available online for this combination. After searching through my reloading books (I only have two so far, but one has...

The gun club I belong to has a weekly 300 yard shoot. I would like to try it out. Not too long ago, I bought a Remington 700P (1 in 12 twist) along with an SS 10X??HD scope. I have shot around 300 rounds of Ultramax ammo through it just to get comfortable. The furthest I shot at was...

Re: Good Bullet Weight for .308? Again, thanks for the replies everyone. Again, it's past midnight and I'm a little foggy. My short-term plan is to target shoot at our farm. It's a lot of fun, however, I'm limited to around 250 yards (+/-). I think I'm going with the 168 gr. A-MAX...

Re: Good Bullet Weight for .308? Thanks KRock

Re: Good Bullet Weight for .308? Again, it's midnight so I'm tired, so please excuse any errors: I just realized that my 700P has a 1:12 twist. That's slow, right? Correct me if I'm wrong but I remember hearing that heavier bullets are better for a slower twist. P.S. I didn't have...

Re: Good Bullet Weight for .308? Thanks BobinNC. Sounds like the 175 makes alot of sense

Re: Good Bullet Weight for .308? Thanks for the reply, mattj!

Re: Good Bullet Weight for .308? Nevermind...sounds like 168 or 175 are good. I'm very new to this sport.

First off, It's 1 AM so please excuse any errors in this post. Secondly, based on the advice of some members of SH, I bought a Remington 700P with a SWFA SS 10X?HD scope around 2 months ago. I'm new to shooting over 100 yards. I'm ready to buy my .308 reloading equipment tomorrow and was...

I just bought a Remington 700P .308. I'm new to target shooting. I currently reload .30-06, but that's only to save money. I just load the middle load per the Speer manual and have never deviated from it. Questions: What bullets do target shooters usually use? (I'm guessing not hollow...
